Boethia's Shrine is located high in the mountains south-southeast of Cheydinhal.

Head south of Vaermina's Shrine at Lake Poppad until you are parallel to the fork in the nearby river. At that point, head straight east into the Valus Mountains (you may want to consider rock climbing). The shrine is northeast of Fort Facian and northwest of Hame. The shrine's priest Hackwen is attended by Tolvasa Sendas and Pajeen. They are unwelcoming of visitors and lament that their secret location has been found. A few small patches of Clouded Funnel Cap mushrooms are the only alchemical resources nearby. After talking for a while, Boethia opens a portal to an Oblivion Plane, for you to compete in the "Battle of Ten Bloods". In the "Battle of Ten Bloods" you must defeat each of Boethia's (tobe) champions, each a different race. In the Oblivion Plane you will find massive gates one after another. Behind each of these gates is a level-appropriate hostile NPC. You must defeat each NPC in turn to open the next gate. Before each NPC appears Boathia will give you some information on each of them. You can rest an hour between fights to recover health and magicka, as long as you don't get close enough to the next gate to trigger Boethia's little pre-battle introduction. The next combatant in the trial does not seem to be generated until that point. After you have defeated them all, Boethia will open another portal, for you to return to his shrine. Upon activating the portal you have the option of either going through or to go back to loot the bodies of the slain Champions. You will want to clear as much inventory space as you can before entering the trials. Your opponents will have a lot of nice gear and veritable boatloads of healing potions. For this reason, you also want to avoid pushing them into the lava. It will kill them, and count as a win, but makes it hard to get the goodies. Upon succesfully returning and thus completing "The Battle of Ten Bloods" you will receive a gift from Boethia, the daedric artifact Goldbrand. Clavicus Vile's Shrine is a daedric shrine located southwest of Imperial City in the Heartlands, and north of Felgageldt Cave. It is attended by Anedhel and Gul gro-Burbog and overseen by Ma'Raska. Plants of note near the shrine include a couple of monkshood, a few steel-blue entoloma and some viper's bugloss. After giving Clavicus the offering of gold, he speaks of a sword he wishes to recover, "Umbra." You are given the statuette of the dog that is standing next to him, then sent off. After you've walked a bit, the statuette will speak to you, giving a short story before pleading with you to not return the sword to Clavicus Vile. The quest says to start in Pell's Gate, a small settlement. The treasure is actually to the west, in an Ayleid ruin, Vindasel. The ruin is not deep, but there is a crusher and a gas trap inside, so remain vigilant. Once you have reached the destination, you will find that Umbra is not only the name of the sword, but also the person that wields it (or rather, an alias the wielder assumes). Kill Umbra and retrieve the sword. When you return to the Shrine, you can either keep Umbra or give it to him for your reward (a dialog will ask if you want to give him the sword). If you return it, your reward will be the daedric artifact, Masque of Clavicus Vile. You will finish the quest either way, so even if you keep Umbra, you can still do the quest at the Shrine of Hermaeus Mora. If you decide to keep the sword, it will no longer be weightless. It will then have a weight of 45. Located high in the Jerall Mountains, at the northern edge of the province is Hermaeus Mora's Shrine. North of Sancre Tor, the shrine is most easily accessed through the mountain trail from Chorrol to Bruma. When near the shrine a number of stone staircases will begin appearing. The shrine is attended by Norasa Adus and Bruscius Longus. The shrine's priest and quest-giver is Ri'Jirr. Four wormwood plants are located at or near the shrine. No other plants are present. Unlike most Daedra who are represented as a person, or a beast, Hermaeus Mora appears as a globular crab-plant thing, this may be Hermaeus Mora's true form or one he chose for some unknown reason to signify logic. The Shrine of Hermaeus Mora is located in the northwest most point of the Jerall Mountain range, directly west of Cloud Ruler Temple. In order to obtain this quest, you must have completed all of the 14 other daedric quests. In addition, you must have advanced to the Blood of the Daedra segment of the main quest and be level 20+. The

quest involves capturing souls from each of the ten races using a special soul gem and spell given by Hermaneus Mora.Walkthrough You must use a special given Black Soul Gem and special Soul Trap spell called Mora's soul trap provided by Hermaeus Mora to capture an NPCs soul. The following is a list of suggested NPCs for each race: Altmer (High Elf) Marauder Battlemage, Vampire Patriarch, Vampire Sorcerer, Vampire Witchhunter, Necromancer, Conjurer Argonian Marauder Archer Bosmer (Wood Elf) Bandit Bowman, Vampire Acrobat, Vampire Archer, Vampire Thief, Adoring Fan, worshippers at the Shrine of Sanguine Breton Bandit Hedge Wizard, Conjurer, Conjurer Adept, Necromancer, Necromancer Adept, Vampire Agent, Vampire Mage, Vampire Spellsword Dunmer (Dark Elf) Bandit Bowman Imperial Marauder Archer, Marauder Warlord, Vampire Monk, Vampire Sorcerer, Lord Lovidicus from Origin of the Gray Prince quest, worshippers at Meridia's Shrine Khajiit Bandit, Highwayman Nord Marauder, Marauder Warlord, Vampire Barbarian, Vampire Bard, Vampire Knight Orc Adventurer, Agronak gro-Malog of the Arena, Black Brugo, Marauder, Marauder Warlord, worshippers at Malacath's Shrine Redguard Vampire Rogue, Vampire Scout, Bandit, Bandit Ringleader, worshippers at Molag-Bal's Shrine The Shrine of Hircine is located in the Nibenay Valley, halfway between Bravil and the Imperial City and south of Sweetwater Camp. The shrine is worshipped by Vajhira, Boroneth, and Hunting Tail, who will give you information on the quest. Hircine will ask you to travel to Harcane Grove in the southwest, kill a unicorn, and bring back its horn. The unicorn is guarded by three special Minotaurs, and the unicorn itself may also fight you. Upon returning the horn to Hircine, you are rewarded with the Savior's Hide, one of the best suits of light armor in the game, with a constant 25% Spell Resistance. To kill the Unicorn, you will need to use enchanted or silver weapons. Just use the strategy of jumping on something and shooting it with the bow and silver arrows, then finish it off with a sword or knife. If you don't do this the Unicorn may kill you due to its strength. Return to Hircine with the Unicorn Horn and you will be rewarded with the daedric artifact, Saviour's Hide. Molag Bal's Shrine is located deep within the Great Forest. It is southeast of Chorrol, northeast of Skingrad and west of the Imperial City. Head straight west out of the bridge from the Imperial City Talos Plaza District. Keep going west, past Breakneck Cave, until you come to the Ayleid ruin of Narfinsel. Go south-southeast until you see the shrine. Olyn Seran and Yushi speak of Lord Molag Bal but the priest Amir can give you the shrine's quest. With the pelt in your inventory activate the shrine. Molag Bal tells you to corrupt a man named Melus Petilius. In order to do this, you must make him attack you with the Cursed Mace that Molag Bal provides. He lives at the settlement of Brindle Home. Head there and talk to any villager with a disposition of 60 or more and they will tell you about Petilius. He moved to a cabin to the southwest and he visits his wife's grave daily. You can't get him to attack you in his home, but at his wife's grave he is easily angered. Petilius heads to the grave at 10:00 a.m. Follow him there. When he begins praying at the grave, drop the Cursed Mace nearby and beat him with your fists. Talk to him and he will grab the mace. Allow him to beat you to death (you must die). You'll then reappear at Molag Bal's shrine and he'll award you the Mace of Molag Bal. Necromancers Dark Fissure is a cave located southeast of Cheydinhal, and east of The Reed River. Inside the cave you will find various undead creatures (zombies, skeletons, lichs, etc.) and human necromancers, as well as your standard dungeon loot. For those of you interested in Black Soul Gems, it should be noted that the cave doesn't have any Black Soul Gems to loot (as was my experience after searching this cave in its entirety) although there may be a small chance to loot one from a necromancer. Bloodrun Cave is a cave east of the Niben Bay and the Nibenay Valley, south of the Panther River, near the Seran Camp and Kindred Cave. Its entrance is marked by zombie bodies put there as warning signs. The entrance faces the river. The Cadlew Chapel is an abandoned chapel that is situated on the bank of Silverfish River. It seems that it has been taken over by a group of necromancers. The inside of the chapel is a whole mess, with benches thrown around and lots of dead zombies on the floor. You will find two necromancers inside, along with a dead treasure hunter and a chest with some random loot. There is a ladder up to the tower, where you'll find a skeleton along with a chest also containing loot. There are two samples of the rare Human Heart on the floor. Even though the altar works, the blessing does not affect the prayer. Echo Cave is a cave located in the Jerall Mountains. It is where the head necromancer Mannimarco, the King of Worms, decides to take up residence when he threatens the Mages Guild. Elenglynn is a small elven ruin located about halfway between Chorrol and Skingrad, just slightly southwest of Redguard Valley Cave. Fort Doublecross is located northeast of Leyawiin. It's a three-sectioned necromancer dungeon. Fort Istirus is a three-level necromancer dungeon located halfway between Kvatch and Skingrad south of the Gold Road and north fo the Strid River. There is a necromancer's altar just to the west of the fort. A tree grows through the middle of the ruin and the fort's southern face has fallen open. Plants are abundant with morning glory growing on the ruins and flax within. A couple of cinnabar polypore grow on the tree and two dryad's saddel polypore grow near the entrance. More flax and some alkanet grow near the altar. Fort Linchal is north-northeast of Kvatch and north of Sandstone Cavern or Shetcombe Farm. There is a necromancer's altar outside of the entrance to Fort Linchal. Some distance to the east is an Ayleid Well and a short distance to the south is an Ayleid Well.

Lost Boy Cavern is situated directly north-northwest of Lake Canulus, in the Nibenay Valley and east of the Silverfish River. The entrance to the cave is embedded in a moderately sized rock. Notice that it is a necromancer cave due to the Nightshade and skull-sticks. Lost Boy EntranceWhen you enter the cave, you should immediately find a burning corpse- nothing on it. Continue searching around and looting chests; many will contain moderately powerful magical equipment or items. In the first level of the cave (Lost Boy Entrance), you should find two more entrances: the Lost Boy Yawning Halls and the Lost Boy Canyon. Lost Boy Yawning HallsSeveral necromancers and other enemies can be found in this level. Some of the necromancers are holding moderately powerful magic items, such as scrolls and potions. Occasionally, they will wear armor of some sort. Continue looting throughout the cave. Noteworthy are the a couple notes found in the cave, which entail rituals and information on necromancers. Once you have gone throughout this cave, continue to the Lost Boy Hidden Bastion. Lost Boy CanyonNothing too noteworthy here except for a one or two chests containing weak magic items, and necromancers. Although another Hidden Boy note is found here. Lost Boy Hidden BastionSearch throughout the third level of the cave (overall easier to navigate). A desk with a red tapestry above it contains some interesting notes. Read the three Angry Letters to the Mages Guild. Each letter describes a lich named Erandur-Vangaril. On the desk is also some alchemical tools useful to you. Afterwards, go towards the stairs near the desk and walk straight up, and continue until you enter a room with two sleeping slabs, and a stairway blocked by dirt with a chest under it. Kill the necromancers in the room, and continue towards the chest near the stairs. Inside the chest is a key and another note. Pick them both up, and search around the room for more chests. Head back down the stairs and enter the "Old Wooden Door" with an average lock; the key will open it. Inside the room you will encounter two Skeleton Guardians and ErandurVangaril, a necromancer turned lich. Take the gaurdians out, but Vangaril won't attack, nor can you attack him, unless you're at least level 23 when you first enter the area. Head behind the chair and there is a chest with a note upon it. Read the note if you wish. The chest has an 'average' lock level and cannot be opened with the key. Inside the chest is another note, and a level-dependent treasure. Mackamentain is an Ayleid ruin located north of the Silverfish River (go in a straight line north of the Imperial Bridge Inn, it's just northwest of the lake you encounter). There's an Ayleid Well across from the entrance. Moss Rock Cavern is just north of Roxey Inn and you are sent here by Marlene of that tavern in The Gravefinder's Repose quest. This cave is inhabited by Raelynn the Gravefinder, her fellow necromancers and associated undead. Marlene claims the undead often wander outside at night. South of the Faregyl Inn and southwest of the Inn of Ill Omen, Pothole Caverns faces away from the inns. Human remains and a zombie in a coffin, make necromancers seem likely.

It is possible to shoot arrows through the hole in the middle of the door without the zombies detecting you, making them easy to kill using sneak attacks repeatedly. Near the door, there is a secret door next to it, only opening after going to the last room. Wendelbek Aldmerisel There are several lowered staircases which can be raised by the button in the middle of the room, below the raised platform.

In the Rosethorn Hall Top Floor, there is a little housing unit around the top of the stairs. On top of that housing, all the way against the west wall, there is a "Long Forgotten Note". You can reach it without any furniture by getting in the corner between its North wall and the Bedroom's West wall, jumping straight up, and grabbing the note from the corner. Another way to get it with furniture is to jump onto the nearby table, then onto the bookshelves, then just grab the note (it will be at eye level). This note gives a riddle, Two bodies have I, though both joined in one. The more I stand still, the quicker I run. The answer to the riddle is an hourglass. In the basement there is a pillar with garlic hung on the sides of it. Where the pillar meets the ceiling there are a few connecting planks running diagonally. Between one of the planks and the pillar is a battered hourglass, take it. NOTE: You will not be able to obtain the hourglass without taking the note. The hourglass will appear after you have picked it up. You can begin this quest either by talking to Lithnilian at the Imperial Bridge Inn or by finding his notes in Bramblepoint Cave. He was researching a natural outcrop of Welkynd Stones when he was attacked and fled, dropping his notes in his flight.If you started this quest by finding his notes, then you simply have to go to the Imperial Bridge Inn and speak with Lithnilian. He will immediately give you your reward, thus ending the quest. If you started by speaking with Lithnilian, he explains his predicament and gives you the location of Bramblepoint Cave.

Once you have them, return to Lithnilian to claim your reward. You'll meet a strange Khajiit named S'jirra at the Faregyl Inn. She insists someone is stealing her supply of Jumbo Potatoes. Apparently, she uses them to make what she calls her "Famous Potato Bread". She will offer a reward for the potatoes' safe return. Whoever it was that stole it, S'jirra says it was "huge" and headed west. Follow your compass out into the wilderness. It won't be long before you run into an Ogre. Kill it and you'll find it was carrying her Jumbo Potatoes. Return the potatoes to S'jirra. She will give you 2 S'jirra's Famous Potato Breads. This quest is found upon entering Shetcombe Farm to the north-east of Kvatch. Once inside you'll need to find a diary page which is located in a bowl on the middle table. Read it and it will tell you to head to Sandstone Cavern which is close by to the north-east. Make your way through the cavern and you'll find the body of Slythe Serengi the former owner of Shetcombe Farm which has fallen in a grotto. He was on his way to make a gift to The Sunken One to stop the Oblivion gates from opening. The bag with him will contain all sorts of gems and precious metals. The Sunken One is also in the grotto and you either have to fight him or flee. The Sunken One is a large living rock creature (Storm Atronach). Find and read the third page of Slythe's diary to finish the quest.
